ANARCHISTS REoRGANIzE.
Sensational Circular Issued by group I'm
Chicago Revolutionary Plans for the future.
Chicago Mail

Sensational Circular Issued by a group I'm
Chicago Revolutionary Plans for the future
Chicago Mail
1t IL becoming generally known that
the Reds and Anarchists are reorganizinp
their forces throughout the city. Secret
meetings are held nightly and inctndiary
speeches delivered BY men who are as ut
terly devoid of principle as only genuine
Anarchist can be.
just where and at what hour these meet
ings are being held can not at present be
determined, but that revolutionary meas
ures are being adopted by the Interna-
tional Workmen's Protective Association
is an undeniable fact. The utmost Sc
crecy is observed, and to escape the fear
of detection only six members are allowed
to be present at any one meeting, thus
avoiding all suspicion which world be
occasioned by the gathering of crowd
Designating the fate of their so-called
martyred comrades, they are contemplst-
ing plan of organization and attack
which will inevitably bring about a re-
petition of the scenes enacted at the
Haymarket on the 4th day of last May.
The first of the secret circulars containing
q plan of organization was issued at a
meeting of Reds held Thursday night at
the South Side.
After calling attention to the fact that
seven of their comrades have been con
demned to the gallows for exercising the
right of free speech, and TO the passage in
various States of conspiracy laws, enacted
for the purpose of intimidating dissatis-
fed workmen, the circular adds: sour op-
pressors seem determined to adopt Eu-
ropean methods. Let Us heed the lesson"
The new plan of organization is as fol-
lows;
"No group TO exceed five in number
After the first five are organized let them
select a central organizer and seperate
again, each individual starting another
group Of his own numbering FIVE. When
group Is reported full let the central
organizer go and inspect them and verify
the fact By this system never more than
six will come together. The organizer
alone becomes familiar with the twenty
five. Similar twenty -fves can be estah
lished, the various central organizers
constituting an executive committee of
five as limit, which would give mem
bership of 1876. SO on and so on, until
the city is honey combed with groups, in
to which detective can not penetrate be-
yond a very limited length. Later a sys-
tematic grouping of the different cities
will be brought about, and a thorough
bureau Of correspondence secured"

Tight Hats and Bald Heads.

The habit of wearing warm coverings
on tie head is not of recent date. The
armies of Europe, for instance, no in
considerable number of men, with heads
close cropped, have worn for a long per.
iod warmer and heavier headgear than
the modern dH0ilors la cEios5 without
the same tendency - tQ2ngss. ~N.e2vst..
tho heavy fur coverings OF northern
races incompatible with luxuriant hair
1t is also difficult TO understand what in
jury can result from close cutting, per
Sc. The growth is in the hair follicle,
and in it alone; there is no vital connec-
tion between the hair outside the scalp
and within; it is usually cut closest at the
back of the head and neck, where bald
ness never occurs. Would not close cut
ting rather stimulate the growth by ex
posture of the scalpy Such, at least, is
the popular belief So. too, with indoor
life; women, who ought to show it most,
whether in the home or in the factory,
are never bald as men are; on the con
trary, il is most common with men in
good circumstances, as Mr.. Eaton's
statistics show-men who spend large
proportion of their day time in the open
air than the indoor worker.
| believe the common form of bald
ness is due entirely TO the kind of hat
that is worn, principally to the high hat
and the hard felt hat, but also to any
other head covering that construct the
blood vessels which nourish the hair
bulbs. To have a clear understanding
of this, we must remember that the
scalp Is supplied with blood by arteries
at the back, sides and front of, and ly-
ing close to the skull, which diminish
in size by frequent branching as they
are in most favorable position to be
compressed, lying on unyielding bone
and covered by thin tissue. Consider
what effect must be produced 10y close
fitting, heavy and rigid hat; its pressure
must lessen to a certain extent the flow
of arterial blood, and obstruct to a great
er extent the return of the venousi the
result being a sluggish circulation in
the capillaries around the hair follicies
and bulbs, a consequent impairment of
nutrition, and final atrophy. This pres
sure is not trivial or imaginary, as any
one will admit who has noticed the red
band of congestion on the forehead
when hard hat is removed after moder-
ate exercise.

Necessity of Proper Rotation of Crops.
Philadelphia Record

There is no soil that can DC considered
as iuexhaustibls in fertility. IL may
produce large crops for many years, but
every pound of substance removed from
it takes away SO much, and sooner or
later the yield will begin gradually to
lessen. Especially Is this true when the
soil has been devoted to only one kind Of
crop. On the rich soils of the west the
land was kept in corn year after year,
with good yields as the result but time
proved the error OF So doing. The truo
mode of cultivation is by a judicious
system of rotation. The soil mag fail to
produce certain crops and yet be rich and
we'll ADAPTED TO some other kind. The
ihree great elements of fertility are nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash, to
which we may add lime, and as long as
the soil contains these elements it will be
capable of growing any crop suitable TO
the climate; but the different crops do
not all feed alike, some requiring an eX-
cess OF certain elements that are not in
demand 10 such an extent by others. A
crop OF wheat takes away q large proper
ton of nitrogen and phosphoric acid,
but requires smaller proportion of pot
ash. Ii is plain that by growing wheat
on the land for several years the nitro
gen and phosphoric acid would be largely
reduced in quantity, while the land would
still be rich in potash. BY growing some
other crop that thriyes best on potash. as
clover, the soil would still be capable of
yielding bountifuliy, while the roots and
stubble of the clover would return a pro
portion OF the nitrogen required for a
succeeding crop. BY rotation, therefore,
the plant food is not only proportioned
to different crops, but 3 system of reno
walton of the soil is also the result. No
matter what crops may be grown, it can
not be denied that something can not be
rived from nothing, and manure and fer
tilizers are always benehoial; yet the best
system is that which utilities the storage
capacity of the plants to derive por-
ton of the elements required from the
Atmosphere and rotation Is thus OF val.
liable assistance. The inert matter OF
the soil is reduced te solubility, the rains
assist the roots to store up matter, and
the soil is better enabled to supply the
proper food required for each plant.

The Sea Heard Seventy Miles Away.

There is story that Mr.. Eliot Glover,
of Portland, formerly of this city, related

uncle. On Christmas night l attended
the Christmas festival with my relatives,
and it was clear starlit night, for | re-

Then il took a course in another direc-
ton and seemed to float over toward
Lewiston. The next day was Sunday,
and after breakfast | walked out with my
uncle. 1t was a very still day, without a
breeze, apparently, from any quarter.
Smoke rolled up straight into the sky.
We we're walking silently along when my
uncle stopped and said: what DO you

eighty miles as the birds fly. The next
dsy the newspapers brought reports Of q
fearful storm along the coast, with high
seas and damaging surf along the shore.
have not hesitated to believe that we
heard the surf at Boethbay that Sunday in
Pennington. Whist current of upper air
brought it that seventy miles! The day
was as calm as the calm OF the ocean at

Ensilage Seed Corn
Prairie Farmer.

There is probably no question in con
nection with SLIDING corn that Is IN great
err need of experiment than that of the
variety of seed best adapted to grow in
the several localities. Large sweet corn
was originally chosen for that purpose,
and later the large horse tooth Dent
varieties of georgia and other Southern
States. There Is now reaction from
this extreme, ana the tendency is to use
large Northern-grown Dent variety.
The oh lection to sweet corn has been
that it did not furnish as much fodder
per acre as large varieties OF Dent corn.
Notwithstanding this objection, the seed
of sweet fodder corn never was in sue
q at demand as now for both ensi <
and summer fodder II ia selling at
pres, ut at $3.50 TO So per bushel. Great
quantities of seed of large Dent corn,
grown in Georgia and the other Gulf
States, have been supplied by nterpris-
| ing seedmen to farmers of the North
Some experienced siloers, among them
Homer Cook, of Waukegan, Ill., now pre-
fer some large variety of Northern-gr
Dent Corn. They claim that silage made
! from the large, late maturing Southern
corn is too watery. They prefer TO use
variety that goes more to the ears, and
produce "A food of higher nutritiye quail
| ty. A subject worthy of work by experi'
ment stations is, which class of corn will
produce the greatest amount OF food
value per acre.

Fonrteen pays in a snow CAVE.

DR.. Porter, who arrived in Murray on
Wednesday, gave a thrilling account of
his experience in the snow. About four
weeks ago he left his mountain hotel,

to proceed A shelter of some Kind being
absolutely necessary, he succeeded after
much hard work in digging a cave in the
snow, and luckily having with him a
small hand-ax, he managed to cut some
wood and build fire. For fourteen days
he was compelled TO remain the sole oc-
cupant of his snow-bound hahitation.
16esping up what tire ne found necessary
and subsisting on the elk that good for
tune had supplied him with Although
no bread or other usual accompaniment
were served with his meals, DR.. Porter
says his daily oollations of elk were very
palatable.

Independent undenominational mis-
sions HAYS accomplished much good, and
in many instances reach class which the
Church with usual methods has failed to
reach. The Pacific Garden Mission in
Chicago, conducted by Colonel George b.
Clarke and his devoted wife, is like an
oasis in that dreary desert of sin called
tho "Levee," and is rs good an example
of the independent mission as 1 can
name. 1t is a work OF self-sacriice and
love, worthy of the masters cause, and
should receive encouragement and sup
port. A more extensive aud permanent
mission has recently been established by
Mr.. p. d. Armour. A large and elegant
building has been erected on 35th street
in which provision is made for gospel
meetings, kindergarten, industrial school
and medical dispensary. Ample endew-
ment secures the necessary support. What
a blessed way TO use money! An example
that should have many followers.

CATCHING A WHALE.
A Desperate Battle With a Sea Monster Which
Finally Got Away

A Desperate Battle With Sea Monster Which
Finally Got Away.
A pine brush displayed from the top
of Captain Leaks tall pole in front of his
house in the village of Amagansett, LII,
at l o'clock on Saturday afternoon, sent
a thrill through the entire village here,
followed by p noise of hurrying feet and
shouts of the hearty sailor lads who rush
ed to man the whaling boats on the beach.
Captain Leak has raised the wheft,"
went up the cry, and all AmsgaRsett
knew that whale had been sighted off
the shore. In less time than it takes to
tell it Captain Josh Edwards, the veteran
whaler of the village, who has already
this season added the ffukes of three
whales 70 the trophies of other seasons
which lie in his back yard, had his boat
launched in the surf and six strong pal
of arms we're pulling out in the water in
search of the whale. The excitement in
short time had penetrated the whole
village, and the seafaring population,
male and female, flocked to the shore
and watched for the coming battle with
the whale
Two other boats were manned and pre-
pared to follow Captain Edwards. In
the latter's boat were, beside the veteran
commander, his brother "Gabe," who, as
always on the whale hunts acted as boat
steerer, Charles Sanford, Charles Null
ford, Everett Edwards, aud Clinton Ed
wards.
"There she blows" went up shout
from the spectators on the shore, and
sure enough about a quarter of mile
off on shallow bar, a geyser of spray
was thrown high up over the waves The
men in Captain Josh's boat saw tbs whale
spout ng and pulled straight for tie spot.
Gabe stood up in the bow of the boat
with two harpoons in his hand. He is
a tall, brawny specimen of Long Island
manhood and had risen from sick
bed to join in with the chase after the
whale
